The interesting question is why its effect on me is so very different from its efffect on everyone else.

Did you know David Bowie is dead? Had you ever heard of David Bowie?!?

View PostWe had this sort of thing on the Bowie thread. Why people think it important to tell us they hadn't heard of an extremely well known musician is mysterious to me.
From this limited awareness I'd say the early stuff was more interesting than the later, but I still wouldn't go to him for an understanding of the point of music.

Apart from early Genesis and some of his solo experimental stuff he's also (well) known for his work with World Music and bringing in into the mainstream in the 80s .. WOMAD festival plus some of his own works ..
What's the one with the incessant tom-toms? Biko?"Gone Chopin, Bach in a minuet."
